As I don't want to be continually taking my buildings in and out I wanted a robust and cheap solution. Also having a new interest in the secondary railways of France (tram systems) I wanted something that resembled the typical architecture of the region. So I bought an aeriated (Thermalite) block...

It was easy to cut with an old saw...

Smooth with a belt sander and old chisel...

Crudely carved a door and detail with a smaller chisel, screwdriver and dremel tool type thing...

thanks guys. The downside I found was the mess (oh the mess...!) and it's difficult to get fine detail. It's a bit 'crumbly'. But I'm building a small shed (a pretend one, it wont actually be hollow) and I'm going to try cutting with a dremel and razor saw. Maybe that will give me finer cuts?
